I would expect shoots to be having birds in this week onwards so they should know if they are going ahead or not!

We are mid scale. Return is around 30% depending how many of the smaller shoots around us put feeders out to drag our birds away. Cheers

The two shoots I beat on are both going ahead.

Not sure how social-distancing will be achieved in the beaters' wagon though. Shocked

Just hope I don't have to walk everywhere between drives, as these days my legs need a break occasionally!

The one shoot that was previously more commercial, had already decided to reduce to friends and family only, before Covid struck, so it won't be a problem for them.


Can dogs carry Covid..... Question

Had a Translock Gun drawer previously in a Discovery 4. I found it one of the best quality drawers around so I ordered one for the Defender. Again not disappointed in the quality although the wallet has taken a beating!

That looks smart. Any chance of a pic of the internals?

Nice one, thanks.

Very nice! I always worry about leaving my gun in the truck at the pub after a day. Don’t think I can afford this solution though Laughing

Doc P, thats exactly the reason why I felt the need to get one as the Defenders are not that hard to break into and it always worried me with guns and ammunition sitting there.

Just got back home after a day out on Chobham Ridges shooting steel targets from 300 to 1000 yards. A challenging day with rain & some very tricky winds but well worth it. The target I am engaging in the photo is at 560 yards, it is 15" wide by 25" high Shocked

How did you go,....any pics of the target after your shoot?
I haven't done much shooting, but what I did, was with an almost unused Army surplus .303, absolutely beautiful to shoot with.

The only time you get to see the targets is through the scope when shooting or through a spotting scope if you're watching others shoot, there are no score values, it's either a hit - with a satisfying visual puff of 'smoke' as the bullet impacts followed by the sound of the impact, or a miss. Wind is the biggest challenge, there are no wind flags to look at, the terrain is undulating with deep unseen gulleys or draws that channel & accelerate wind completely unseen so you have to watch the trees, bushes, bracken & heather for movement to judge hold off - that's when having a mil dot reticle comes in handy as you can hold off by specific amounts & repeat consistently.

My local village Surgery has just charged me £48 for ticking a few boxes and signing the Medical Form for my Firearms and Shotgun Certificate renewal.

Essex Police charge £65 for the complete double renewal.

£48 for a few ticks and a signature seems a rip-off to me.

How much have you other shooters been charged by your Doctor?
